I know it was voted as Jones vs Moore but thinking back I do think it was a poor call, been alot of fights that I would say were at least as good - if not better.
Hunt vs Meager (does it count - if yes, my pick)
Bennett vs Earl
Earl vs Murray (does it count?)
Arthur vs Docherty (probably my pick).
I heard that Watson vs Meager was a cracker.
Hatton vs Tszyu - cracker.
Sure there have been some others - but I was a little dissapoint when Jones vs Moore was named fight of the year.

i'd go for hatton-tsyzu just because of the sheer enormity of it and what was at stake...and the fact that virtually no-one gave hatton a prayer, 22000 screaming fans....probably not the best fight but the for the whole package i'd say this was fight of the year

Hunt v Meager was a cracker and yes it counts, as was bennett v Earl.
Earl v Murray came runner up last year.

I would agree - for the reasons given.
For sure in the ring drama it would be Hunt vs Meager.
For two quality fighters fighting at their best and giving it their all I would say Arthur vs Docherty.
Overall I would say Hatton vs Tszyu, followed by Hunt vs Meager and then Arthur and Docherty 3rd.

I agree with Jones-Moore III, knockdowns, drama it had the lot.
